Can't stop crying

[Faz469]

As the title says really. I'm 25 weeks tomorrow. I've barely slept since the beginning of this pregnancy (not unusual for me tbh as I've suffered with insomnia for years). But I'm so emotionally and physically exhausted. I can't stop crying. I don't know if it's the insomnia or hormones or a mixture.

All I know is I feel miserable and I hate the way pregnancy makes me feel. Don't get me wrong my little boy is very much wanted but this is not at all what I expected prgnancy to be like. I feel like I'm going crazy!

To be honest sleep gets interrupted by pregnancy for me, and I usually sleep through the night and can fall asleep easily. Mostly down to aches from getting pregnant and lying on side.

If this insomnia is more due to your emotions and feelings rayher then pregnanacy aches and being uncomfortable, why are you feeling miserable? Are you worried about something, feeling unsupported etc?

Also have you spoken to your midwife about how your really doing and feeling? And esp a your sleep is taking a serious hit?

Not everyone loves being pregnant, I hated it. With my second I actually got more sleep when she was out, even as a newborn, then I did in mid to late pregnancy.

It sounds like you are suffering with sleep deprivation. I would see your GP and speak to them; in both my pregnancies they've okayed me taking antihistamines like piriton or sominex occasionally just to get the odd good night's sleep, which made all the difference.

Be kind to yourself and rest as much as possible.

Oh gosh no. My partner is amazing. I mean he can't say he fully gets it, but he's certainly trying.

It's not that I'm uncomfortable I literally just struggle to sleep and it's the lack of sleep that's making me miserable.

Tbf I spoke to the midwives about it yesterday and it does appear to have helped. Maybe it was just an off day.

Yeah I spoke to them yesterday. Starting to think it was just an off day though as I do feel much better.
